This is spun-off from bug 505365. Bug 505365 is for users who download Firefox from mozilla.com. This bug is for users who strictly use firefox.rpm from Fedora, only. Many people have reported they crash using firefox.x86_64.rpm from Fedora, combined with a 64 bit flash plugin from Adobe. At this point I assume this crash is caused by a deficiency in the flash software, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. The suspicion is based on the fact that many flash sites work (simple videos on the youtube site), only some flash content triggers the crash, like: http://www.youtube.com/falltvpreview If you are using a 32 bit firefox.rpm from Fedora with a 32 bit flash plugin, and crash on flash content, please speak up.
Not only firefox, but any browser I use is crashing with flash which contains sound. flash without sound works mostly [root@kra:~] uname -a && rpm -qa firefox\* xulrunner\* nss\* nspr\* flash-plugin\* Linux kra.bla.fasel 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Tue Nov 3 23:33:04 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux nspr-4.8.2-1.fc11.i586 nss_compat_ossl-0.9.5-3.fc11.i586 nss_ldap-264-2.fc11.i586 firefox-3.5.5-1.fc11.i586 nss-devel-3.12.4-3.fc11.i586 nspr-devel-4.8.2-1.fc11.i586 nss-3.12.4-3.fc11.i586 flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release.i386 xulrunner-1.9.1.5-1.fc11.i586 nss-mdns-0.10-7.fc11.i586 nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.4-3.fc11.i586 nss_db-2.2-44.fc11.i586 after this I installed nspluginwrapper. now the browser doesn't crash anymore, but flash with sound doesn't work, the window stays grey and syslog say something like this: kernel: npviewer.bin[19277]: segfault at 0 ip 006689fb sp bff6ae00 error 4 in ld-2.10.1.so[65e000+20000]

I have the same general, but the details differ. First of all, flash sound works for me (when FF doesn't crash). Then, it religiously crashes on some sites using flash. Emphasis on some. I can access and use YouTube all right, but others cause an immediate crash of XWindow, so that I go back to the kdm/gdm,xdm login screen or to the console. An example of a site where I crash every time, though sometimes only after a refresh, is http://www.responsa.co.il/default.aspx. I know that most testers will have trouble using it, as it is meant for querying Hebrew texts, but the interface is [available] in English, and since in 99% of cases it crashes immediately, it should be possible to debug without actually using the functions the site offers. Finally, I noticed some additional weirdness: * I am using an ATI Radeon 9200SE graphics card. Up until Fedora 10, everything was great; I used the flglx driver. That driver no longer supports my card, so I am now using the radeon driver. All the above problems occur when I use the radeon driver. However, if I configure Xorg to use the vesa driver, Firefox+flash no longer crashes on the problematic web sites. However, that is only a short term solution, as the vesa driver is slow. * Firefox can grok the flash all right, as it only crashes when the tab with the problematic web site is visible. If I load the tab in the background, FF will load it properly. However, as soon as I select the tab with the problematic web site, the whole house comes down. I should note that problems started appearing in Fedora 11, when FF would sometimes lock up the screen and keyboard and mouse, necessitating a reboot. However, it was happening more rarely then, so I did not previously file a bug report on that issue. Now, on the other hand, it prevents my normal work.

The problem is solved for me ... it was a strange solution. I wanted to try firefox from mozilla.org so I installed 3.6. On the first run firefox did its plugin registration/check/whatever. This didn't help so I decided to stay with firefox from fedora and restarted 3.5.8 which did a plugin registration again. Suddenly flash worked with sound.
Firefox doesn't crash for me, but yesterday's .xsession-errors is large! -rw-------. 1 gene gene 1616827 Mar 9 10:26 .xsession-errors.save [gene@Mobile-PC ~]$ grep 'firefox.*XID collision' .xsession-errors.save | wc -lc 25783 1572763 As you can see, most of the file consists of 25,783 instances of that error FF XID error.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
